Ventana Residences in International City: AED 525,000 Entry into Eastern Dubai
Ventana Residences is an apartment development by Zedor Real Estate Development in International City, Dubai. Construction began in August 2025. Handover is targeted for September 2027.
Eastern Dubai's Affordable Quarter
International City sits roughly 20 kilometres east of Downtown Dubai and about 15 kilometres from Dubai International Airport. Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Road connects the community to major employment corridors and commercial hubs across the city. The district is one of Dubai's most established mid-market residential communities, with a large residential population and a retail base anchored by Dragon Mart, one of the region's largest wholesale and consumer goods complexes.
Dragon Mart's scale matters for residents: it covers electronics, furniture, home goods, and general merchandise across its two connected malls. The combination of an established community, airport proximity, and a large on-doorstep retail hub makes International City a functional residential base.
For an investor, the location's case rests on lower purchase prices and a large, established residential community. For an end user, the trade-off is distance from Dubai's coastal and downtown cores.
One Price Across the Board
Every apartment at Ventana Residences is listed at AED 525,000. There are no view premiums, no floor-level adjustments, and no tiered pricing across the inventory. A single flat price removes the guesswork from budgeting and defines the cost commitment from the outset.
This price point places the development in the entry-level to mid-market bracket of Dubai's off-plan apartment segment, suited to buyers who prioritise capital efficiency over address prestige.
Amenities Built for Daily Resident Life
| Theme | Amenities |
|---|---|
| Fitness and Wellness | Indoor Swimming Pool, Gymnasium |
| Outdoor | Landscaped Gardens |
| Family | Children's Play Area |
| Dining | Restaurants |
| Security | CCTV Security |
The indoor swimming pool is the standout item in this set. An indoor pool is usable year-round in Dubai, avoiding the summer temperatures that limit outdoor facilities for months at a time. On-site restaurant access within a residential building at this price tier is also uncommon.
The overall amenity selection points to a resident who values convenience within the building. A gym, an indoor pool, outdoor green space, a children's play area, and on-site dining cover daily needs without requiring residents to leave the development. The package is practical and well-suited to families and full-time occupants.
September 2027: What This Means for Buyers Entering Now
Construction started in August 2025. Completion is scheduled for September 2027, a two-year build window. For a buyer entering today, handover is approximately 14 months away. The full construction-phase payment schedule and the handover balance both fall within that timeline.
Buyers committing now are entering a project that is early in its build cycle, with the majority of the construction period still ahead. The 14-month window to handover is defined and finite.
Getting In for 20%
| Stage | Payment |
|---|---|
| Down Payment | 20% (AED 105,000) |
| During Construction | 30% (AED 157,500) |
| On Handover | 50% (AED 262,500) |
The entry requirement is AED 105,000 at 20% down. A further 30% is paid across the construction period. The significant figure is the 50% handover balance: AED 262,500, due when ownership transfers in September 2027.
The plan is clean and predictable. Its weight sits at the back end: half the total purchase cost falls in a single payment at delivery, rather than being distributed across the build.
